Heroes IV on the Way

New World Computing gave us some vague answers to our questions about its upcoming strategy game Heroes of Might and Magic IV. The developer revealed that the game will feature a completely new engine that will run in 800x600 as a minimum, and it will support resolutions of up to 1280x1024. Although the game will still be two-dimensional like its predecessors, it will feature significantly enhanced graphics. The developer has re-examined everything in the game, and rather than simply refine the elements of the previous games in the series, Heroes IV has been completely rebuilt using several elements that the designers felt were critical to the series. The New World representatives wouldn't tell us anything further at the moment, but they promised to reveal some more specific information later this year.
